Like My Daddy Done It
Walker Montgomery Lyrics

Well the pine cone don’t fall far from the tall pine tree
I have inherited many traits and qualities from my father.

There was only one thing I ever wanted to be
I have always aspired to be like my father.

And that was just like him
I strive to emulate his character and actions.

Burning my candle at both ends
I am working hard and pushing myself to the limit, just like he did.

I keep my shotguns clean looking like brand new
I take great care of my shotguns, ensuring they are in pristine condition.

Put my corn in the ground on the first spring moon
I follow his practice of planting corn during the first spring moon.

Just like he did
I follow his footsteps and adhere to his methods.

Yeah I learned from the best there is
I have learned from the most skilled and knowledgeable person in this regard.

Just tryin’ do it like my daddy done it
I am attempting to replicate my father's actions and way of life.

Wake up in the morning’ hit the ground running
I start my day with energy and purpose, ready to tackle any challenges.

Old farm truck you can hear me coming
My old farm truck makes a distinct sound that announces my arrival.

Sip a little something wondering where the sun went
I pause for a moment to enjoy a drink, contemplating the passing of time.

Every now and then you gotta take the long way home
Sometimes, it's necessary to take a detour and appreciate the journey rather than rushing.

Love your baby every way you can but wrong
I shower affection on my loved ones in every possible way, but I also make mistakes.

Make a little time for huntin’ and fishin’
I carve out some time to indulge in my hobbies of hunting and fishing.

Catch myself saying things he use to say
I find myself uttering the same phrases and expressions he used to use.

And I’m getting like a fence post set in my way
I am becoming more set in my ways, like a fence post firmly planted.

Shake your hand, you can count on me
If I shake your hand, you can trust my word and rely on me.

Wearing my heart on a rolled up sleeve, yeah
I openly show my emotions, wearing my heart on my sleeve.

I’m gonna love my girl
I will deeply love and cherish my significant other.

I’m gonna raise my kids
I will raise my children with care and responsibility.

In a small town world
I want to provide a nurturing and close-knit environment for my family, just like he did.

Just tryin’ do it like my daddy done it
I am making an effort to follow the footsteps and parenting style of my father.

Wake up in the morning’ hit the red dirt running
I start my day with enthusiasm, ready to face the challenges of rural life.

Old diesel knocking you can hear me coming
My old diesel engine makes a distinctive noise, signaling my arrival.

Sip a little something wondering where the sun went
I take a moment to pause and reflect, enjoying a drink while contemplating the passing of time.

Every now and then you have to take the long way home
Occasionally, it's important to take a scenic route and appreciate the journey instead of rushing.

Love your baby every way you can but wrong
I express love and affection to my loved ones in various ways, even if I make mistakes.

Make a little time for fishin’ and huntin’
I allocate some time to indulge in my hobbies of fishing and hunting.

Yeah I’m Gonna Sip A Little Liquor and Float Down The Creek
I plan to unwind and relax by enjoying some alcohol while peacefully floating down a creek.

Catching these fish in the kentucky Heat now
I am successfully catching fish even in the hot climate of Kentucky, just like my father used to do.

Just like my daddy done it
I am following my father's fishing techniques and achieving similar results.
